Guest rj55brc Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 My question is what the recommended max size for a profile on a computer would be. Does is have the same effect as a .pst file? i know that .pst files will get corrupted after they reach a certain limit. Your help is greatly appreciated.

No recommended size for regular local profiles. Your 'profile' is made up of so many different files/folders. It could be a few GB up into the 100's of GBs... Most of it is not touched unless you tell it to be. Desktop is just a folder full of files. My Documents is the same thing - as well as all the subfolders of My Documents. > Does is have the same effect as a .pst file? i > know that .pst files will get corrupted after they reach a certain > limit. That is *not* correct - at least not anymore - and it wasn't really corruption as much as it just had file-size limitations and you had to archive your mail. I mean - I would not recommend anyone to allow their PST file to grow super-large (undoubtedly - they could have archived LONG before it got to any huge size...) - but the size limit no longer exists at the same level (2GB or so) as it did with Office XP. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
